***** This is fun because I’m going to show you my TWO writing spaces. I have one depending where my family is (and making noise). I can shoot over to either spot depending on my needs (and deadlines).

I painted this office space red—specifically called STOLEN KISS.
Is that perfect for a romance writer or what?

The problem is there is NO view and I feel as if I’m in a cubicle office space.

It’s tight but I can’t be too picky.

I’m working on a new space now. I’m actually pretty excited because I’m still getting this new space together. I picked the blue green color because it reminded me of the ocean. All of my romances have been set in beach towns so having the water near me at all times is obviously a must!

I still need to get some decorations on the wall and a new writing chair, but it’s coming along. Right now when I write, I sit in the brown chair with my feet up on the ottoman and have my AlphaSmart in my lap.

A TV will eventually go on that back wall. This room is one of the warmest ones in the house in the winter too, which is perfect for me because I get cold so easily. Not too shabby for a work-in-progress office!

But obviously both spaces seem to get the job done. :-)

Thanks so much for having me and allowing me to share a peek into my writing world! I hope you get to check out my sweet romance KISSING KENDALL. And be on the lookout for my fun Valentine’s Day novella A LITTLE BIT CUPID being released from Entangled the end of this month!

About the Author:

Jennifer Shirk has a bachelor degree in pharmacy-which has in NO WAY at all helped her with her writing career. But she likes to point it out, since it shows romantic-at-hearts come in all shapes, sizes, and mind-numbing educations.

She writes sweet romantic comedies and won third place in the RWA 2006 NYC's Kathryn Hayes Love and Laughter Contest with her book, The Role of a Lifetime.

She's also a board member for Straight Ahead Ministries, an organization involved in helping spread the gospel and aiding medical and pharmacy students in Russia. She resides in a beach resort in NJ, and when she's not involved in all the above, she's taking care of her most treasured possessions: her husband, daughter, and four hermit crabs.

Kendall Grisbaum has been trying to pick up of the pieces of her life since the death of her firefighter husband almost two years ago. The last thing she’s interested in is love and feels the best way to start moving on is to concentrate on opening up her new bakery business. Unfortunately, she’s finding it hard to remember those two points now that her old friend and policeman Brad Mayer is back in her life and giving her a helping hand.

After losing her husband in the line of duty, Kendall doesn’t want to get involved with another man with a dangerous job, and refuses to give in to her attraction to the handsome police officer. But Brad has always loved Kendall from afar and now that he senses she might feel the same, he’s determined to show her the real danger would be to lose another chance at love.
